From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Niri is so so good
How does it compare to hyprland in it's current state regarding stability, features and support?
Overall I would say it is more stable and less features than Hyprland. And recently it has Waybar modules so you can have a complete status bar. Personally would prefer Niri over Hyprland on a laptop if I do not plan on connecting monitors. The issue I had is that there are too many actions available to move windows including across monitors and setting simple keybinds for all of those becomes a problem. It just did not work for me as I use two monitors.
Exactly! I am glad to see I am not the only one with this issue.
I have 2 monitors and the "flow" (if I can use that term) of moving the windows around was painful; I never got used to it.
I finally went back to River, I am a simple man...
I'm on River too, but I still wish one could move windows across monitors just like in Sway and Hyprland. I'm referring to the fallback window movement when it reaches the end of a monitor and there is an available monitor in that direction so it sends the window to said available monitor. I think it makes for a low cognitive effort workflow.
Not at all, aside that it tiles.
